Stately Pageants Took Place in Weatminster Abbey For 00 Years. &t the- annsoaohing revival of the ceremony of installation the most honorable Order of the Bath will again manif eet its corporate exie- .. tome after an interval of a cen- tury'e duration, In 1725 King Henry 1TII.'s chapel in Westmins- ter Abbey was eenstitated the= cha- lee' of the Order of the Bath, and the stately pageants of that body took place there for nearly 90 , years, eay s the London Times. The eurione in such matters will elate well rewarded for their trouble lirthey turn to the work of John Pine, (3u-tit:tea The Proeeseion and Ceremonies Observed at the Time a the Installation of t,he Knight Companione of the Most Honorable Military Order of the Bath. This is lavishly illustrated and provides , a very minute deee.ripaert of the ArSt ceremony of the order as con- stitnted under Getege I., and pea, eibly may form, the basis for the contemplated revival. The reat 1ifitater was the Duke of Mantague and the tot 41-1(1 Prieeileel 00111Palliort wee Prince 'William, afterward Duke of Camberland aed Vietor at Cullo- den, The great meeter wee empow- ered to eenfer the accolade of knighthood, and several a thoous- toms ‹).f the old-time eeremonial of making an esquire a kaight were followed with great nieety, among titem being the minatory warning delivered by the tneater cook. The tual beth itself is, moat minutely terdied ele the seventh statute of rder as ikil essential prelinti- inttallation, The auty Aa bath before undergoing vigil and pretenting one's self Ito aceolatle of a knight, which Wit§ usually accompanied by the = words "lii the name of God, Our Lady and Saint George," is found comparatively early, but whether tine eeremony ie purely eceletiaati- cal and symbolic in the origin is perhaps open to doubt. In any ease the elaborate ritual pros- cribed for that° rite* by the star - tette .of 1720 is omitted from those of 1847. The Order of the Bath, according to some authorities, can- not be exinsidered to have existed in Buell a Way as did the Order of lief Garter until the reorganization 1725. Previous to this date rights othe 'Bath were created in eensiderable numbers, generally on the oceasion of a eoranation and but rarely at any other time. .M - ter 1725 the eoetirtuity was more frequently and also more sparingly observed. In. 1812, owing to a de- sire, to reward the great number of ellicers of bah servieea who bad won =distinctie)n during the late wars, the appointment of extra e knights was permitted, and in 1815 n the order was divided into three i- classes, the then knights becoming Y knights grand eross, while the new e members of the order were distri- buted among the two freshls formed ,e companies. On eleven different oc- Fr easions eiece then the numbers of a the three classes of knights com- l. mender and classes have been aug- mented. s- The order is provided with the ti necessary officers, eeelesiaetieal and . heraldie, and it was the original in- tention that Bath King of Arms should have an heraldic jurisdiction over "Wales similar to that enjoyed by Norroy, King of Arms, over the parts of England north of Trent. The grant emeting this juriediotion tit was however, held not to be good in itew in face Of the privileges of the existing kings of arms, whose jurisdiction already ceenprised Wales. Five Great Masters followedone another in. orderly succession until 1861, when the of- fice, which then became vacant on the death of the prince consort, was 003. not refilled. It was net until 1897 00 that King Edward, then P=rinee of 00 Wales, was appointed, and on his 00 zjecession to the throne, after a vacancy of little more than a 00 mouth the reigning grand master, 00 the. Duke of _Connaught, was ap- 00 pointed. There is plenty of mater - 5 ' 1 for making of the revived in- allation a very fineeceremony, for •which Henry VIIes chapel at West - Minster will provide a superb set- ting: It is believed that great pains are being taken with the hanners, helmets and crests which are to re- place their oxisting predecessors. - In any case ie is tO be hoped that the unhappy practice of writing the name of the owner upon the ban- . p t- nor will be abandoned, wbele the )ill election of the necessary et,all- , plates should give full scope for the tell workmanship of same of the excel- ] lent heratclie al list=e now e in this eonntry. hile. a young man rime' admire a tierlish girl, he -ehould, remember et ens grow ups SOME TEETOTAL MONARCHS CROWNED HEADS OF EUROPE WII0 ARE TEMPERATE.

Information differs widely in re- gard to King George. It is some- times stated =that he drinks only milk, and it is true that he has been seen partaking of this inno- cent thirst -quencher, lint he does occasionally take wine as well. Of course, at one time in his youth he was a hard drinker; in fact, it was not until he married Queen Mary that he mended his ways and set- tled down. to nailde,r beverages. „ The Late Iiiug Edward. It was in King Edward's day that the cellars at Buckingham Palaee were worth considering. His. late Majesty was as particular about his wines as about everything else. 1 -le drank steadily, yet no one ever saw him the worse for liquor, and he prided himself on being a great judge of all food and drink. His favorite hostessee were those who gave him well-chosen meals with just the right wines. Ile was not in any sense of the word a gourmand, bet he was a gourmet, and his peo- ple rather admired him for it, just as they secretly admired him for having the best of everything all his life. Queen Alexandra is not a tee- totaler, and her favorite wine which isorved at lutch and din- ner, is a rather heavy burgundy.

One of the most extraordinary, holiday trips ever undertaken by women travelera was a ride aeross "the roof of the world," that part of the aimalayas which separates India, from Eastern Turkestan. Two English women Miss E. 0, Kemp and Miss MeD'ougall, well known as a Ohinese expleror,.were the her- oines of the trip, winch they des- cribed at the Lyeausn Club, Lon- don, The two set out in May of last year and crossed mouttain passe whieh never had been trod by 'wo- men travelers. They met a saint of Thibet, eon -versed with him and made a, sketch of hint and told him they visited manatteries filled with figures of local saints and devils and scrolls of Many colors. With the smallest of caravans these two women met the caravans of sportsmen, large and elaborate affairs, with long trains of ponies bearing the heads of dead animals. They discovered that the natives on the road were as keen as the sports- men themselves and that the sole topic of native coaversation was the\ largest game bag. In Leh they were received at the king's Palace and provisioned -them- selves for the meet arduous part of their journey. They took with them a cook, who, when at home in Leh, was also a pillar of the church, a surgeon's assistant, sportsman, hymn writer and general handy man. Four men servants, inter- preters, eight ponies to carry tents and two yaks—.the stately chargers on which the women rode—complet- ed the caravan. - They started in the direction of the Pangong Lake, noted for its brilliant color, and ateended to a height of 18,000 feet. For a month they lived away from civilization. They climbed glaziers and precipi- tous mountains, forded dreaded riv- ers and explored gorges that never had known the thasence of white women. The way across these_heights was streewn with carcasses of horses and the perpetual symbol of death was the raven. They suffered terribly with headaches and adopted chlor- ate of potash as a cure. "Was it worth while?" they were asked. "Well," replied Miss Kemp, "I think it was. There comes a time in our lives when it as desire le to broaden our interests.
